Russian Sanctions: Addition of Certain Entities to the Entity 
List

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) with this final rule 
amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding twenty-one 
entities to the Entity List. The twenty-one entities that are added to 
the Entity List have been determined by the U.S. Government to be 
acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of 
the United States. BIS is taking this action to ensure the efficacy of 
existing sanctions on the Russian Federation (Russia) for violating 
international law and fueling the conflict in eastern Ukraine. These 
entities will be listed on the Entity List under the destinations of 
Georgia, Poland and Russia.

DATES: This rule is effective February 16, 2018.

Office of the Assistant Secretary, Export Administration, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, Phone: (202) 482-5991,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to Part 744 of the EAR) 
identifies entities and other persons reasonably believed to be 
involved in, or that pose a significant risk of being or becoming 
involved in, activities that are contrary to the national security or 
foreign policy of the United States. The EAR imposes additional 
licensing requirements on, and limits the availability of most license 
exceptions for, exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to those 
persons or entities listed on the Entity List. The license review 
policy for each listed entity is identified in the License Review 
Policy column on the Entity List and the impact on the availability of 
license exceptions is described in the Federal Register notice adding 
entities or other persons to the Entity List. BIS places entities on 
the Entity List based on certain sections of part 744 (Control Policy: 
End-User and End-Use Based) and part 746 (Embargoes and Other Special 
Controls) of the EAR.
    The End-user Review Committee (ERC) is composed of representatives 
of the Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy, and 
where appropriate, the Treasury. The ERC makes decisions to add an 
entry to the Entity List by majority vote and to remove or modify an 
entry by unanimous vote. The Departments represented on the ERC have 
approved these changes to the Entity List.

Entity List Additions

Additions to the Entity List

    This rule adds twenty-one entities to the Entity List. These 
twenty-one entities are being added on the basis of Sec.  744.11 
(License requirements that apply to entities acting contrary to the 
national security or foreign policy interests of the United States) of 
the EAR. The twenty-one entities being added to the Entity List consist 
of one entity in Georgia, one entity in Poland and ninteteen entities 
in Russia.
    Under Sec.  744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the Entity List) of 
the EAR, persons for whom there is reasonable cause to believe, based 
on specific and articulable facts, have been involved, are involved, or 
pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved, in activities 
that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests 
of the United States and those acting on behalf of such persons may be 
added to the Entity List. The entities being added to the Entity List 
have been determined to be involved in activities that are contrary to 
the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. 
Specifically, in this rule, BIS adds entities to the Entity List for 
violating international law and fueling the conflict in eastern 
Ukraine. These additions ensure the efficacy of existing sanctions on 
Russia. The particular additions to the Entity List and related 
authorities are described below.

A. Entity Additions Consistent With Executive Order 13660

    Four entities are added based on activities that are described in 
Executive Order 13660 (79 FR 13493), Blocking Property of Certain 
Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine, issued on March 6, 
2014. As described in the Executive Order, the actions and policies of 
persons who have asserted governmental authority in Crimea without the 
authorization of the Government of Ukraine undermine democratic 
processes and institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, 
stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and contribute to 
the misappropriation of its assets, and thereby constitute an unusual 
and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of 
the United States.
    Executive Order 13660 blocks all property and interests in property 
that are in the United States, that come within the United States, or 
that are or come within the possession or control of any United States 
person (including any foreign branch) of any person determined by the 
Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, 
to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have engaged in, directly 
or indirectly, misappropriation of state assets of Ukraine or of an 
economically significant entity in Ukraine, among other activities. 
Under Section 8 of the Order, all agencies of the United States 
Government are directed to take all appropriate measures within their 
authority to carry out the provisions of the Order.
    The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control 
(OFAC), pursuant to Executive Order 13660, has designated the following 
four entities as being within the scope of the Order: Doncoaltrade SP Z 
O O; Kompaniya Gaz-Alyans; Ugolnye Tekhnologii, OOO; and ZAO 
Vneshtorgservis. In conjunction with that designation, the Department 
of Commerce adds all four entities to the Entity List under this rule 
and imposes a license requirement for exports,

[[Page 6950]]

reexports, or transfers (in-country) of all items subject to the EAR to 
these blocked persons. This license requirement implements an 
appropriate measure within the authority of the EAR to carry out the 
provisions of Executive Order 13660.

B. Entity Additions Consistent With Executive Order 13661

    Two entities are added based on activities that are described in 
Executive Order 13661 (79 FR 15533), Blocking Property of Additional 
Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine, issued on March 16, 
2014. This Order expanded the scope of the national emergency declared 
in Executive Order 13660 of March 6, 2014 (79 FR 13493). As described 
in Executive Order 13661, the actions and policies of the Government of 
the Russian Federation with respect to Ukraine--including the 
deployment of Russian military forces in the Crimea region of Ukraine--
undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine; threaten 
its peace, security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; 
and contribute to the misappropriation of its assets, and thereby 
constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security 
and foreign policy of the United States.
    Executive Order 13661 includes a directive that all property and 
interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter 
come within the United States, or that are or thereafter come within 
the possession or control of any United States person (including any 
foreign branch) of the following persons are blocked and may not be 
transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: Persons 
determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 
Secretary of State to have either materially assisted, sponsored or 
provided financial, material or technological support for, or goods and 
services to or in support of a senior official of the government of the 
Russian Federation or operate in the defense or related materiel sector 
in Russia. Under Section 8 of the Order, all agencies of the United 
States Government are directed to take all appropriate measures within 
their authority to carry out the provisions of the Order.
    The Department of the Treasury's OFAC, pursuant to Executive Order 
13661, on behalf of the Secretary of Treasury, and in consultation with 
the Secretary of State, has designated the following two entities as 
being within the scope of the Order: Evro Polis Ltd. and Instar 
Lodzhistiks, OOO. BIS is also adding these entities to the Entity List 
pursuant to Executive Order 13661. The two entities added to the Entity 
List under Executive Order 13661 meet the criteria of Section 1, 
subparagraph B of the Executive Order 13661 because they operate in 
Russia's arms or related materiel sector. With respect to these two 
entities, BIS imposes a license requirement for exports, reexports, or 
transfers (in-country) of all items subject to the EAR to these 
entities. This license requirement implements an appropriate measure 
within the authority of the EAR to carry out the provisions of 
Executive Order 13661.

C. Entity Additions Consistent With Executive Order 13662

    Twelve entities are added to the Entity List based on activities 
that are described in Executive Order 13662 (79 FR 16169), Blocking 
Property of Additional Persons Contributing to the Situation in 
Ukraine, issued on March 20, 2014. This Order expanded the scope of the 
national emergency declared in Executive Order 13660 of March 6, 2014 
and expanded in Executive Order 13661 of March 16, 2014.
    Specifically, Executive Order 13662 expanded the scope to include 
sectors of the Russian economy as may be determined by the Secretary of 
the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, such as 
financial services, energy, metals and mining, engineering, and defense 
and related materiel. Under Section 8 of the Order, all agencies of the 
United States Government are directed to take all appropriate measures 
within their authority to carry out the provisions of the Order.
    The Department of the Treasury's OFAC, pursuant to Executive Order 
13662, on behalf of the Secretary of the Treasury, and in consultation 
with the Secretary of State, has designated the following twelve 
entities as operating in the energy sector of Russia and owned or 
controlled by, or have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, 
directly or indirectly, a person whose property and interests are 
blocked pursuant to the Order: Kaliningradnefteprodukt OOO; Kinef OOO; 
Kirishiavtoservis OOO; Lengiproneftekhim OOO; Media-Invest OOO; 
Novgorodnefteprodukt OOO; Pskovnefteprodukt OOO; SNGB AO; SO 
Tvernefteprodukt OOO; Sovkhoz Chervishevski PAO; Strakhovove 
Obshchestvo Surgutneftegaz OOO; and Surgutmebel OOO. In conjunction 
with that designation, BIS adds all twelve of the entities to the 
Entity List under this rule and imposes a license requirement for 
exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) of all items subject to 
the EAR to these blocked persons, when the exporter, reexporter or 
transferor knows that the item will be used directly or indirectly in 
exploration for, or production of, oil or gas in Russian deepwater 
(greater than 500 feet) or Arctic offshore locations or shale 
formations in Russia, or is unable to determine whether the item will 
be used in such projects. This license requirement implements an 
appropriate measure within the authority of BIS to carry out the 
provisions of Executive Order 13662.

D. Entity Additions Consistent With Executive Order 13685

    Three entities are added based on activities that are described in 
Executive Order 13685 (79 FR 77357), Blocking Property of Certain 
Persons and Prohibiting Certain Transactions with Respect to the Crimea 
Region of Ukraine, issued on December 19, 2014. In order to take 
additional steps to address the Russian occupation of the Crimea region 
of Ukraine with respect to the national emergency declared in Executive 
Order 13660 of March 6, 2014, and expanded in Executive Order 13661 of 
March 16, 2014, and Executive Order 13662 of March 20, 2014, certain 
additional prohibitions with respect to the Crimea region of Ukraine 
were imposed. In particular, Executive Order 13685 prohibits the 
export, reexport, sale or supply, directly or indirectly, from the 
United States or by a U.S. person, wherever located, of any goods, 
services, or technology to the Crimea region of Ukraine. Under Section 
10 of the Order, all agencies of the United States Government are 
directed to take all appropriate measures within their authority to 
carry out the provisions of the Order.
    The Department of the Treasury's OFAC, pursuant to Executive Order 
13685, on behalf of the Secretary of the Treasury and in consultation 
with the Secretary of State, has designated the following three 
entities as operating in the Crimea region of Ukraine: Limited 
Liability Company Foreign Economic Association Technopomexport; PJSC 
Power Machines; and VAD, AO. In conjunction with these designations, 
BIS adds all three of these entities to the Entity List under this rule 
and imposes a license requirement for exports, reexports, or transfers 
(in-country) of all items subject to the EAR to these blocked persons. 
This license requirement implements an appropriate measure within the 
authority of the EAR to carry out the provisions of Executive Order 
13685.

[[Page 6951]]

    For the twenty-one entities added to the Entity List based on 
activities that are described in Executive Order 13660, 13661, 13662 or 
13685, BIS imposes a license requirement for all items subject to the 
EAR and a license review policy of presumption of denial. The license 
requirements apply to any transaction in which items subject to the EAR 
are to be exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) to any of 
the entities or in which such entities act as purchaser, intermediate 
consignee, ultimate consignee, or end-user. In addition, no license 
exceptions are available for exports, reexports, or transfers (in-
country) to the entities being added to the Entity List in this rule.
    The acronym ``a.k.a.'' (also known as) is used in entries on the 
Entity List to help exporters, reexporters and transferors to better 
identify listed persons on the Entity List.

Export Administration Act of 1979

    Although the Export Administration Act of 1979 expired on August 
20, 2001, the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 
2001, 3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as amended by Executive Order 
13637 of March 8, 2013, 78 FR 16129 (March 13, 2013) and as extended by 
the Notice of August 15, 2017, 82 FR 39005 (August 16, 2017), has 
continued the Export Administration Regulations in effect under the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act. BIS continues to carry out 
the provisions of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as appropriate 
and to the extent permitted by law, pursuant to Executive Order 13222, 
as amended by Executive Order 13637.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive 
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and 
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting 
flexibility. This rule has been determined to be not significant for 
purposes of Executive Order 12866. This rule is not an Executive Order 
13771 regulatory action because this rule is not significant under 
Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to nor be subject to a penalty for failure to 
comply with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA), 
unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This regulation involves 
collections previously approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088, 
Simplified Network Application Processing System, which includes, among 
other things, license applications and carries a burden estimate of 
43.8 minutes for a manual or electronic submission.
    Total burden hours associated with the PRA and OMB control number 
0694-0088 are not expected to increase as a result of this rule. You 
may send comments regarding the collection of information associated 
with this rule, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to 
Jasmeet K. Seehra, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), by email to 
[email protected], or by fax to (202) 395-7285.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for 
public comment and a delay in effective date are inapplicable because 
this regulation involves a military or foreign affairs function of the 
United States. (See 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). BIS implementation of this 
rule is necessary to protect U.S. national security or foreign policy 
interests by preventing items from being exported, reexported, or 
transferred (in country) to the entities being added to the Entity 
List. If this rule were delayed to allow for notice and comment and a 
delay in effective date, the twenty-one entities being added to the 
Entity List by this action would continue to be able to receive items 
without a license and to conduct activities contrary to the national 
security or foreign policy interests of the United States. In addition, 
publishing a proposed rule would give these parties notice of the U.S. 
Government's intention to place them on the Entity List and would 
create an incentive for these persons to either accelerate receiving 
items subject to the EAR to conduct activities that are contrary to the 
national security or foreign policy interests of the United States, 
and/or to take steps to set up additional aliases, change addresses, 
and other measures to try to limit the impact of the listing on the 
Entity List once a final rule was published. Further, no other law 
requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for 
public comment be given for this rule.
    5. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for 
public comment are not required to be given for this rule by 5 U.S.C. 
553, or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., are not applicable. Accordingly, 
no regulatory flexibility analysis is required and none has been 
prepared.
